11:01 am
seven pm in moscow you're watching r.t. on marina josh. the n.s.a. spy scaled continues to grow fueled by some fresh exposures from edward snowden revelations of european union offices being at a target of u.s. snooping has set alarm bells ringing across the block with its leaders demanding an explanation from washington while german is justice minister a slammed the u.s. for its cold war tactics indicating that a recently brokered free trade pact with the u.s. worth hundreds of billions may now be in jeopardy they have the e.u. parliament martin scholtz described the situation as a huge scandal though saying that more information was needed on it belgian prime minister a ghost of diverse called for an immediate stop of the n.s.a. surveillance program while luxembourg's foreign minister john warner said the u.s.
11:02 am
should watch its own spies rather than snooping on its allies are to spill over has the details on snowden's bombshell revelations. what's the the the documents that says that they received through edward snowden we're able to see part of says is that the national security agency were well spying on the e.u. just about everywhere they could that they were targeting phones they were hacking their computer networks at the un in washington d.c. also that they were booking premises in brussels and carrying out the same type of . phone tapping and computer hacking there is well germany came out as one of the the countries that was most spied on as part of this prism operation by the n.s.a. something that raised a few eyebrows and certainly posed a few questions when chancellor angela merkel met with president barack obama
11:03 am
a little while ago now what we're also seeing is that the same type of thing as this came out regarding the the bulking of then president dmitri made yet it so it seems that no matter who you were wherever you were you were subject to why you types and computer hacking and having your premises bugged by the n.s.a. now one interesting part of this article says this quote saying that you were a target a definite target for this type of surveillance and also says that five years ago the e.u. itself had looked into phone calls that had been made to them had traced phone calls apparently back to a n.s.a. office that was based inside the nato compound in brussels so they certainly had suspected that they were under surveillance but it's a very different thing suspecting that somebody is watching you so then finding out
11:04 am
through these type of leaked documents that they certainly were watching you and just how closely they were watching you indeed. germany is one of washington's main targets in europe berlin based peace activist explains why i think the larger concern is keeping. some political control over germany because the united states has very important military assets in germany so the bases here are the most important in all of europe and. i think that's the reason that germany is more heavily monitored than any other european country that's what the report say and of course that goes back to the fact that during the entire occupation really up till the early ninety's in any case u.s. military intelligence felt that they had a right to spy on him and the german especially in berlin and the latest leak comes with the u.s. already in hot water over its prison program washington used it to collect massive
11:05 am
amounts of data from all over the world which they say was used to foil terror plots and prove national security but as our reports the real terrorists are out of reach for the snooping software which only scratches the surface of data gathering . and there is the pose a quest for preventing terror attacks and increasing security prism only gathers data from the internet big players such as google facebook and so on but most of those who look forward to harvest or terrorist related information can find it only on the appropriate forums which are hidden deep within the so-called underwear none of these resources in that realm are actually indexed by the major search engines in fact google how that one point admitted that it indexes a tiny fraction of just one percent of all data that's available on the web if you imagine it as an iceberg that you can understand that prism only covers the very top the very tip of the iceberg the rest of the information is actually not covered
11:06 am
by prism according to dutch intelligence service but sensual terrorists go to these core forums which are highly encrypted and hidden deep within the web so one really needs to know what they're looking for and where to find it a case in point could be the brothers they have turned to one of the war no radical sources sometimes referred to as the vanity fair of al qaida though the websites existence is no secret for some reason u.s. security services failed to track down the brothers' activity even after a tip off from russia and thereby they failed to prevent the boston bombings so although the cia and the n.s.a. say their surveillance programs are directed at protecting people it seems like they're too busy reading innocent people's e-mails. now if you're outside the us how do you know if you're online data is going to be gathered and closely examined by prism so log onto our to dot com to find out how the u.s. agency decides when to use their digital notifying glass abroad.
11:07 am
ecuador's president meanwhile says that snowden's fate is out of his hands and the whistleblower his next move depends on what russia does u.s. vice president joe biden urged ecuador not to grant asylum to snowden but they can't do it yet anyway because he's not an ecuadorian territory moscow insist that they won't be discussing what to do with a thirty year old any time soon for a look back at the whistleblowers journey so far here is already used to balance a. snowden i'm twenty nine years old as soon as edward snowden revealed himself as the whistleblower he set off a catch me if you can hunt by the us government want to get him caught and away is he now guessing game for the media after a tip off that snowden was on board a flight from hong kong to moscow the media started speculating as to his next move edward snowden flew from hong kong to moscow say that he will be able to have on
11:08 am
a flight the situation descended into a fog when a crowd of journalists boarded a flight from moscow to havana only to find that the whistle blower was not on board a presumed to be stuck in an airport transit say so we took off without him so we committed to a twelve hour plus flight that was essentially a waste of time the global public city had turned one of america's boys wanted men into a hero for some to others they traitor i think he has. committed crimes and in fact by violating agreements given the position he had several countries have been tangled up in this case a with a veiled threats from washington and bag and forth rhetoric we've registered our struggle objections to the authorities in hong kong as well as to the chinese government through diplomatic channels and we know that such behavior is the detrimental to us hong kong and us china bilateral relations. with which as for the possibility of extradition we do not have any such treaty signed with the united
11:09 am
states but for ecuador a potential asylum destination snowden things have moved beyond mere rhetoric that countries move to scrap a trade agreement with the us risking economic losses standing its ground in the face of america's pressure added his government is also said to be divided. the safe passage document dated twenty second of june obtained by weeklies with snowden from the ecuadorian embassy in london was not authorized meanwhile the mystery continues as to snowden is the next move he's now waiting at present korea to make a decision on the asylum application without a pressure from the u.s. are asking him not to grant it the door in president also said that the media attention surrounding snowden has actually diverted from the real story that of the n.s.a. surveillance documents but by snowden's own admission this was never going to be a story with a fairytale ending you can't come forward against the world's most powerful
11:10 am
intelligence agencies. be completely free from risk to bungle day r.t. moscow. now the incoming national security advisor insisted that snowden's revelations did little to damage u.s. foreign policy or president obama ray mcgovern worked for the cia for nearly three decades and he says snowden's case actually shows that the u.s. government is losing the battle against whistleblowers despite their big money operations. i can understand the embarrassment i can understand people getting on on t.v. and saying this fellow as a traitor traitor i think is a patriot you see it's a contest between very sophisticated people in wiki leaks and people like snowden and this fast apparatus that has all the money but not as much talent and there's the key because this is a leveling field here this is
11:11 am
a leveling field where the united states with all its money and all its defense expenditures is on a level playing field with very very bright people abroad very very bright people in the ecuadorian embassy in london and very bright people in n.s.a. and what i'm saying here is that the u.s. is outmatch so far all the money and with all the control that borders frankly on fascism with the executive the judiciary and the congress all complicit in violating our constitution if snowden can continue to elude this dragnet it will be really a mark for liberty a mark for the rule of law in the international sphere that's why they this way u.s. authorities will do everything possibly can to try to get him. more stories i have read here in our cool welcome in south africa we follow president obama with a trip that's been overshadowed by angry protests that's coming up later this hour
11:12 am

11:14 am
a bomb and by protest is to take you know that and go on the missing motherhood rate which the president has from and the president himself the ministry for their part said they will intervene if they find it doesn't escalate that people here say they are leaving they setting up tends to be here they say for the next week until president morsy steps down every day. this mahmoudiya coote paints a new government mural just as cairo's tahrir square his latest isn't supposed of tomorrow to meaning rebel a grassroots campaign collecting signatures calling for the resignation of president mohamed morsi but what the model as a citizen i just want food health services and education we don't have these instead morsi gave his just three pieces of bread a day you can see by his belly he eats ten in one meal. frustrated like many threw his support behind tomorrow they hope to install a transitional government and early presidential elections tomorrow a person's right to use can be found in the prospect capital not everyone believes

11:16 am
or idea they decided that they want to go with this political map that involves an includes the military for instance for internal security and this is something that others like me and other movements as well totally disagree with so you will have to a different view coming up and in the future what ever the president's reaction to the mass protest movement it's clear that it's not going to beit true for r.t. cairo. now a group of secular leaning deputies have resigned from egypt's parliament in support of the ongoing opposition rallies cites attack from the american university in cairo believes and neither uprising could be imminent as islam as president hasn't delivered on his promises. the president one is is not all knowing the objectives of the revolution two he was considered a thing his only good at the expense of the national interests of the country and also defense that. if the da if he remained silent on them is
11:17 am
in for years egypt would become like somalia or sudan there are looking for years that egypt would be as a section of pollution is going to be hijacked like should by girls islamists who wanted the society to sleep and stay put and do not intervene and lives in what the want the who are not speaking is about pouring into account the government and now before you have to call the account a president because of the one you fail to deliver what people expect. well here on our team we're always interested to know what you think on the stories that we cover for you here at our website r t v dot com we're asking you today how you sing the situation in egypt will pan out so let's take a look as you can see the majority of those who have participated in our online poll forty six percent saying is that morsi will suppress the opposition and
11:18 am
a rule as a dictator only seven percent and separate those so saying that a military coup will bring stability to the country and not from those of saying that the country as a political is in for a political catastrophe and the minority saying which is seven percent and that morsi will step down and mubarak's officials will come to power will do let us know what you think on this issue by logging on to our website r.t. dot com. what happened to the arab spring dream to egypt's first freely elected president bring any change fear poverty economic failure and violence remain due to egypt's attempts to escape chaos leaves blowing even deeper. egypt. chaos.
11:19 am
they were ready to do anything for their country to be fair trial is to love the country more than yourself if you join the military for any other reason that you're probably not going to have a good day they were tools in the hands of the state now they live remembering the past which is impossible to get rid of. the war. but however good people do get hurt. and i've heard good people. empty silent. but would prefer not to be sometimes i feel like. i should have died over there. i saw some people who died. there is cheaper than target. on
11:20 am
our. welcome back you're watching our british prime minister david cameron has just visitors kabul and the capital of neighboring pakistan this follows a recent policy shift towards the taliban in afghanistan they now want to bring them to the negotiating table the tour through the turbulent region is aiming to breathe new life into stalled peace talks afghan president hamid karzai said that to go shushan process is to go ahead despite an attack on the presidential palace earlier this week the incident on tuesday once again warrant an already shaky deal meanwhile washington is packing his bags for a troop withdrawal at the end of next year having failed to bring stability to the nation after almost twelve years of war gera vandyke former t.v. correspondent taliban expert believes that the hard line taliban won't compromise.
11:21 am
originally we went into afghanistan solely to destroy to dismantle to destroy if you will the taliban government and to destroy the al qaeda. this war has morphed into has evolved into a war against the taliban the taliban as the military will tell you are on the ascendancy they are not losing they're willing to they're willing to continue to go forward to a man announced proclaiming to the world that they are a sovereign nation by calling themselves islamic emirate of afghanistan that they will not negotiate as long as any troops are left any foreign troops are left in afghanistan so how do you say you're going to win if you're going to leave and you haven't won the war so you have two governments you have the government of afghanistan and in the eyes of the world this is a separate government of the taliban the president of afghanistan and the people do not want this all right. now president obama has pledged seven billion dollars to fix frequent power blackouts in sub-saharan africa the big promise comes as the
11:22 am
u.s. leaders tours the african continent to boost ties however obama's trip has been tainted by protests south african riot police fired stun grenades to disperse angry crowds near a hot as burg i had a visit to the city on saturday hundreds were gathering for demonstrations against u.s. foreign policy in other cities across the country earlier as well more rallies are expected in cape town which obama's visiting on sunday protesters are showing frustration with his unfulfilled promises as american aid to africa has been cut while the military presence in the region has increased from war on as adults now talk to any. organizer of the obama protests across africa i think it's a march sir for joining us here on r.t. to discuss the situation in our country so what are protesters actually trying to achieve here and what sort of reaction are they expecting from obama to their protests. will basically the protests have to do with
11:23 am
u.s. foreign policy in other countries and its implication lodged in the oppression of palestinians. in the baseless to. cuba of the cuban five the closing of the going to the movie is basically to organize protests or until the lazies presence in the country specifically to expose those who did that achieve to those people what they can play the united states and specifically you could you see. president obama well you see obama's trip to african countries actually involves a quite significant economic agenda and his. trip is focused on trade a konami development so why oppose it. well i mean part of what is in the ways in which imperialism wakes is that we can through as much aid to people and we
11:24 am
can ignore. that. so it doesn't matter for us how much aid we throw at south africa or the african continent has got to stop the attacks he's got to stop supporting the racist. israel and have the palestinian have the right and actually realize the truth and these are the that that the significant issues that led to this country has been concerned about it doesn't matter for us how much money he throws at the clinton and it has to do with the fact that everybody in the road deserves a chance to leave in the self-sufficient nation should we the rest of if he were well you know following up on the what you just said in his speech in bergen aversive he actually did say that america has no intention of boosting its military presence in africa and he was also talking about sharing american expertise in fighting terrorism so why are critics saying that his approach is militarized.
11:25 am
why his critics are saying that obama's approach is a militarize where he emphasized in johannesburg university that he's helping basically africa with expertise in fighting terrorism. i mean i think that the idea of the way these functions of your question correctly there with the idea for our side criticism of the reason which the united states function is the united states may be a friend as long as you don't hold it accountable in terms of its actions and the increasing damage of the clinton and. your government is supposed to be opposed to that and so it doesn't assist in terms of. that must conclude that african countries must be able to be independent in the war on terror if he has to learn from. that conflict in the world has to follow through a negotiated process of the biggest lesson of the country's intraday obama and his
11:26 am
administration and many of the. rest of them approach. for the wall and the case in point. the no bomb a campaign in south africa and many progressive organizations is opposed to precisely the ways in which the united states thinks of. letting this military presence has to do with precisely the. approaches across africa thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. and here in our team next to we investigate the alarming suicide rate among young us war veterans. i love life but there is a lot of sick stuff going on on this planet for example according to bloomberg a hospital in chicago has been accused by the f.b.i.
11:27 am
of cutting the throats of patients for big bags of cash a tracheotomy is a procedure to get air directly into the windpipe of someone who can't breathe by cutting a hole into it an f.b.i. affidavit based on tape recording says that the hospital knowingly and purposely sedated patients to the point that they couldn't breathe properly and would need tracheotomy and as you know in the u.s. health care system nothing comes cheap trick out of his own days cost about one hundred sixty thousand dollars a pop this alleged conspiracy between doctors and management is not the first of its kind at this hospital an administrator and five doctors have already been charged for medicare fraud for giving and receiving kickbacks not only is having a hole punched in your neck for money disgusting but it may also be lethal because patients at that hospital in chicago are three times more likely to die than patients at other hospitals from tracheotomies throughout the state now how did the f.b.i. find out about this with three employees ratted out the hospital and worked with
11:28 am
the f.b.i. to make a lot of incriminating voice recordings these people risk their jobs and possibly much more to do what was right and i salute them reading out evil is no wrong deed but that's just my opinion. feel the.
